Resumo

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar de maneira experimental o efeito da disponibilidade de recursos econômicos sobre as funções cognitivas e preferências sociais de estudantes universitários. Foi realizado um estudo com desenho experimental intra-sujeitos, no qual participaram 60 estudantes universitários. Comparou-se o desempenho dos participantes expostos a condições de altos e baixos recursos econômicos em tarefas de desempenho cognitivo (inteligência fluida e controle inibitório) e de preferências sociais (Jogo do Ultimato, com ofertas de diferentes graus de justiça). Em geral, os resultados não indicaram diferenças significativas entre os participantes de condições de baixa e alta renda nas funções cognitivas e preferências sociais. Por outro lado, houve diferenças segundo o sexo no domínio cognitivo. Se discutem os resultados à luz de investigações anteriores e se reconhecem as principais limitações.
